Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed November 2, 2017. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-17-00152-CV THIEN AN VO, Appellant V. HARRIS COUNTY, LINEBARGER, HARRIS COUNTY TOLL ROAD AUTHORITY, Appellees On Appeal from County Civil Court at Law No. 3 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1085934 MEMORANDUM OPINION This is an appeal from a judgment signed January 30, 2017. The clerk’s record was filed March 31, 2017. No reporter’s record was taken. Appellant filed a brief on May 12, 2017, and a reply brief on July 26, 2017. We struck those briefs on August 17, 2017, because they did not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.1. We ordered appellant to file a compliant brief by September 18, 2017. We cautioned that if appellant failed to file a compliant brief by that date, we may dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. No brief or motion for extension of time was filed. Hurricane Harvey struck the Texas coast on August 25, 2017. On August 28, 2017, the Supreme Court of Texas issued Misc. Docket No. 17-9091, an emergency order directing all courts in Texas to consider disaster-related delays as good cause for modifying or suspending all deadlines in any case. As a result, on September 28, 2017, the court issued another order regarding appellant’s brief. We stated that if appellant did not file a brief by October 12, 2017, the court would dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b). No brief was filed. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Jamison, Busby, and Donovan. 2
